The Ortner-Roberts Duo performs at 3rd Street Gallery, Carnegie, PA, August 16th 08.written by Lionel Belasco (1882-1967) the “Scott Joplin of calypso.” Belasco’s music has charmed us since we discovered it in Terry Zwigoff’s film Ghost World. The inclusion of his music in our program is not only because of the great beauty it possesses. Belasco personifies the idea of the Yiddish/Creole fusion better than any other individual performer. His mother was a Trinidadian Creole and his father a Sephardic Jew. Through his many recordings, publications and concerts he is responsible introducing West Indian music to a large international audience. The gentle, sensual waltz Venezuela was originally recorded in 1929.

Andrew Swait was just ten years old when he recorded 'Light of the World' in October 2005 as an Abbey School Chorister. His prodigious talent was spotted at the age of only five, and steeped in the musical whirlwind of a chorister's life, his remarkable musicianship has flourished. In addition to the demands of full choristership in The Abbey School Choir where daily Evensong, numerous concerts and international tours were all a way of life, Andrew was also a member of Tewkesbury Abbey Parish Choir. In addition to many hours of singing both at the Abbey and elsewhere, Andrew also plays the piano and cello, still finding time to go to concerts and follow the careers of his idols - Kirkby, Padmore, Terfel, Scholl and Isserlis - with a bit of live jazz thrown in too. Andrew's passions do not stop at music. He took extra-curricular Mandarin lessons which he started aged six (he has even sung in Chinese), and he still devotes many-an-hour to his modelling of WWI/II Aircraft and reading of all things to do with flight, with just as much dedication and enthusiasm as he affords his musical and academic life. Upon the closure of the Abbey School in September 2006 Andrew was given a choral scholarship to Cheltenham College where he continues his work as a chorister. In the last days of the Abbey School Andrew recorded the choir's final performance on the CD "Choral Evensong from Tewkesbury Abbey" released in October 2006. In July he also gratefully accepted a chance to record on the King's Singers CD released in November 2006 Landscape & Time with Signum Records. Andrew entered the Chorister of the Year 2006 competition with a view to recording again and was a selected as a finalist. His performance of My Soul is Love Untold, accompanied by organist Robert Quinney, and Bob Chilcott's Midwinter were broadcast from Westminster Abbey on BBC Radio 2 on November 5th, 2006. 'Tom Bowling', Charles Dibding, realised by Benjamin Britten.Charles Dibdin (4 March 1745? - 25 July 1814), British musician, dramatist, novelist, actor and songwriter, the son of a parish clerk, was born in Southampton on or before 4 March 1745, and was the youngest of a family of 18.His parents designing him for the church, he was sent to Winchester; but his love of music early diverted his thoughts from the clerical profession. After receiving some instruction from the organist of Winchester Cathedral, where he was a chorister from 1756 to 1759, he went to London at the age of fifteen. Here he was placed in a music warehouse in Cheapside, but he soon abandoned this employment to become a singing actor at Theatre Royal, Covent Garden. On 21 May 1762 his first work, an operetta entitled The Shepherd's Artifice, with words and music by himself, was produced at this theatre. He appeared successfully as Ralph in The Maid of the Mill, for which he wrote the music: for Isaac Bickerstaffe he wrote songs and music for Love in the City, Love in a Village, etc.In 1788 he dissolved his connection with the existing theatres. Having set sail for the East Indies, when the vessel put in to Torbay in stress of weather, he changed his mind and returned to London. He then commenced a new kind of one-man-show, musical variety entertainments called The Oddities and The Whim of the Moment, at Fisher's Auction Room in King Street (Covent Garden). In these he introduced many songs of marked popularity, including "Poor Jack," "'Twas in the good ship 'Rover'," "Saturday Night at Sea," and "I sailed from the Downs in the 'Nancy.'" The immortal "Tom Bowling" was written on the death of his eldest brother, Captain Thomas Dibdin, at whose invitation he had planned his visit to India. His monodramatic entertainments continued at a theatre which he built, the Sans Souci Theatre in Leicester Place. His songs, music and recitations here permanently established his fame as a lyric poet.He died on 25 July 1814 in comparative poverty, and was buried in St Martin's churchyard there. His widow placed a stone over his grave inscribed with a quatrain from Tom Bowling.'Here, a sheer hulk, lies poor Tom Bowling, The darling of our crew; No more he'll hear the tempest howling, For death has broached him to. His form was of the manliest beauty, His heart was kind and soft. Faithful below, Tom did his duty, And now he's gone aloft. Tom never from his word departed, His virtues were so rare; His friends were many and true-hearted, His Moll was kind and fair: And then he'd sing so blithe and jolly, Ah! many's the time and oft; But mirth is turned to melancholy, For Tom is gone aloft. Yet shall poor Tom find pleasant weather, When He, who all commands, Shall give, to call life's crew together. The word to pipe all hands: Thus death, who kings and tars despatches, In vain Tom's life hath doffed; For though his body's under hatches, His soul is gone aloft'.
